In The Lab

This section I am going to need a few statements about what each student does, maybe have a short write up from each person, hyperlink their names to the Team page.


On the Web Site

Heading up the wiki page this year is our Computer Science student, Joe. He produced the wiki using various sources such as CSS and Bootstrap. The website was a continuous effort this year, and Joe kept himself busy, proving to be a valuable part of the USNA team. However, Joe could not have been so successful without the help of the rest of the team, since he did minimal work in the lab itself.

We each brought our own particular skillset to the table. It just so happened that I was more familiar with computers than the rest of the gang, so I decided to head up the web development part, and it was a great time!

Our iGEM team last year had been less experienced with building wiki pages, so this year the team made sure to get an early start to achieve an interactive, easy to navigate, and informational webpage for the competition.

Risks

Our modified organism could pose the risk of environmental release, if applied to the human body. We will need to engineer in a kill-switch mechanism, or another self-destruct mechanism to control unintended proliferation.
